NY, Viking, 1953. The first edition, first issue of his third novel, and the first of his three National Book Award winners -- an unprecedented accomplishment in American literature. A nearly immaculate copy in a fine dust jacket, and exceedingly scarce thus: the cloth is unmarred; the binding tight; the top edge stain a rich, unfaded peach; and the jacket is clean and bright, with no hint of fading and virtually no wear. Almost certainly the nicest copy we've ever handled or seen. From the collection of Bruce Kahn.   [#911156] SOLD
